I believe Public Mobile charges $5 every time you change phones with your e-sim registration.

So we're back to CDMA ESN times?

It was only a matter of time before eSIM turned back into bogus fees for the providers.

The only benefit I see to eSIM is a thief can't take it out easily. Everything else seems like dealing with ESNs again.

This gives me nightmares about calling in to Verizon (I grew up in the US) to change ESNs and trying to talk my way out of the fee.

This is the one I'm currently with, but I guess if I have to update my phone, I may need to see what Eastlink offers in my area, or the newer one I know of that's supposed to be coming soon...
